The Ontario Highway Traffic Act, for example, gets about 6 updates per year.

Online Written test every year, in person written test every 2 years (the laws do change after all).

Road test every 4-5 years.

Bingo on the violations. In person written test for any infraction, road test for any infraction involving points.

Not white people in photo.

Photo is of people white people brought here for indentured labour

;)

Anyways, my greater point is that we've been an immigrant nation for a good while now. Little rude to pull the ladder behind us.

The deliciousness of the descendants of white colonizers complaining about new people settling on "their" land.

Since the province is "science basing" this. Do we have any data that supports the lanes are actually the throughput limiter? It's almost always the intersections.

Can the province provide any data that adding a lane will improve motor vehicle traffic flow? Can the province provide any data that the car throughput increase will be more than the bicycle throughput that is lost?

Strategically, I think the Liberals should be waiting until as close as possible to the election call. It stops the conservatives having time to pivot to a campaign strategy that isn't "Trudeau Bad"

Having just gone through the LaSalle Causeway "repair" drama; it might be easier to just demolish and replace the bridge. But I'm not sure how historically significant this one is.

Neat. I feel like it removes some of the magic from decorating houses, but having never seen one it's an unvalidated guess.

Not sure how the accessibility is any different, but my neighborhood tends to be a drop in location for most the city, so we're just kind of expected to met kids where they're at. Maybe we're just used to it?

What is a trunk-or-treat?

Fair enough, my Canadian bias snuck in there.

Seems strange to me, but you do you!

Ontarians, I need your help.

This week I was pulled over by the police for having a kid's seat on my e-bike. I was informed this is illegal in Ontario as Sec. 38 of the HTA doesn't allow anyone under the age of 16 to be on a power-assisted or motor assisted bicycle.

In 2021 the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act came out that separated power-assisted bicycles (like e-bikes) from motor assisted bicycles (like dirt bikes). This will finally allow child seats on e-bikes.

Please call your MPP to get this bill that passed and assented 3 years ago into law.

Details on the wording of the current and assented laws:

currently the Highway Traffic Act, section 38, states : "No person who is the owner or is in possession or control of a motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle shall permit a person who is under the age of 16 years to ride on, drive or operate the motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle on a highwau"

the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act, 2021, S.O. 2021, C. 26 - Bill 282 splits this into a few sections: "No person under the age of 14 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (a) of the definition" "No person under the age of 16 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (b) or (c)" and the new section 38.1: "No person under the age of 16 years shall ride on, drive or operate a motor assisted bicycle on a highway" From my perspective this will make e-bikes legal to have kids seats; and separate the class away from gas and electric dirt bikes.
